[comp.dcom.telecom] SaudiNet Update: Mail to the Gulf *Still* Wanted!

kmcvay@oneb.wimsey.bc.ca (Ken McVay) (06/09/91)

SaudiNet is alive and well, and soliciting mail to servicemen and
women in the Persian Gulf theatre ...

The following addresses are valid for reaching service members in the
Gulf theatre:

For Army and Air Force people:

Any Service Member
Operation Desert Storm
APO New York 09848-0006

For Marines and Navy people:

Any Service Member
Operation Desert Storm
APO New York 09866-0006

My son, who just returned from the Gulf, where he served with the
Marine 2nd. LAI Btn., told me that mail addressed to "Any Marine" was
avidly devoured, and passed from hand to hand ... it REALLY made a
difference in morale then, and it really makes a difference NOW.

PLEASE take a few moments out of your busy day and send a note to a
serviceman or woman in the Gulf - the war's over, but our sons and
daughters are still there, still lonely, and still delighted to hear
from folks back home....

To send mail to the above addresses, address your UUCP mail to:

saudinet@oneb.wimsey.bc.ca

(Do NOT use the address on the header of this message - it will delay
delivery.)

Then, at the top left corner of the message TEXT, insert the address
in the format shown above.

"Any Soldier", "Any Marine," etc. will also work....

I'd love to see a few hundred messages a day passing through our Saudi
gateway -- help us make it happen!
